Bureau releases Complaint snapshot: 50 state report

Every day, people across the country submit complaints to
the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. The complaints are about a wide
variety of consumer financial products and services, from checking accounts to auto
loans. Like the states they call home, each person’s complaint is different.

Today, we released our Complaint snapshot: 50
state report, which illustrates both the unique—and shared—challenges reported
by people in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Here are some
highlights from our latest report. Since Jan. 1, 2015:

We’ve received more complaints from consumers in
California than any other state. Florida, Texas, New York, and Georgia took the
next four spots.

In Florida, consumers complained to the Bureau
most often about credit or consumer reporting, while the most common complaint
we received from consumers in Texas was about debt collection.

People in Wyoming submitted the fewest
complaints of any state.

Just as every state is different, every person has different
questions and needs different resources for their financial lives. That’s why
we offer a wealth of useful financial information and Web tools to answer your questions
and help you make more informed choices about your money. You can
find answers to hundreds of questions about a wide range of
financial topics, including auto loans, credit cards, debt collection, and
mortgages. You can also call us toll-free at (855) 411-2372, where we can
